This image is both incredibly exciting and sad at the same time. Can’t wait to hear what they’re cooking up for us. Can’t wait to see them live again.

's Memento Mori Tour has now sold more than 2 million tickets, and tomorrow the band are announcing a string of new shows across Europe in 2024.
Tonight, Depeche Mode are starting a new world tour. Tomorrow they are releasing a new album.
Both of those will be the first without Andy. He is - and will continue to be - missed.

first impressions:
Really, really good. "Before We Drown", "People Are Good" and "Always You" is the best three-songs-in-a-row combo on a
#DepecheMode
record since... I wanna say "Ultra".
Only dud for me is "Caroline's Monkey" - everything else I like. Super happy

's "Ghosts Again" mixes delayed due to production issues with the 12". Vinyl records are time consuming to begin with, and to make matter worse, the first batch was marred by a VERY unfortunate typo. Release will be imminent once the initial print run has been

’s Piano Room performance with the BBC Concert Orchestra will premiere on April 6. Personally I’m really excited for the Bond theme-esque version of “Walking In My Shoes”.

are back in action tonight, kicking off their second North American leg of the
#MementoMori
Tour in Mexico City.
First of three sold out shows at the massive Foro Sol.
These numbers still eff's with my brain.
A little perspective: 6.9 million watched the superfinal of the show, where the winner is decided and announced.
That means that about 9 million more tuned in just for

's performance.
That's a nine followed by six zeroes.
Lemme try again...

“Gahan was charismatic and flamboyant as ever, playing the Jagger-meets-Gumby role of frontman as he pranced about the stage, shook his posterior for the crowd. [His] voice was canyon deep, naturally moving from gloom to something
A few notes on tonight’s performance:
- Sounded GREAT. Dave’s vocals were on point, they played well and the news songs were good.
- They messed up two songs, and had fun with it.
- The crowd was incredible.
Finally: LOVED that phones were banned. More of that.

's video for "Wagging Tongue" is available on YouTube. Very strange clip it is too. What's your take on it? And why is there a snippet of another Memento Mori track at the end of the video? Is this just part one?

Amsterdam last night (May 16). Looked and sounded great.
Song selection was good - I’d tweak the running order slightly though. As Dave said after Everything Counts: “It’s a little early for a sing-a-long.”
Excited to see what changes we are treated to on Thursday.
Just a small example of how
#DepecheMode
continue to subtly tweak their stage show. In Stockholm last night, the screens on the side of the stage showed the band performing, rather than showing the "projections". This is SO MUCH better!!!
